Stereochemical modeling of disulfide bridges. Criteria for introduction into proteins by site-directed mutagenesis
Abstract
A computer modeling procedure for assessing the stereochemical suitability of pairs of residues in proteins as potential sites for introduction of cystine disulfide crosslinks has been developed. Residue pairs with C alpha-C alpha distances of less than or equal to 6.5 A and C beta-C beta distances of less than or equal to 4.5 A are chosen for geometrical fixation of S atoms using the program MODIP. The stereochemistry of the modeled disulfides is evaluated using limits for the structural parameters of the various torsion angles and S-S bond length in the disulfide bridge. The ability of the procedure to correctly model disulfides has been checked with examples of cystine peptides of known crystal structures and 103 disulfide bridges from 25 available protein crystal structures determined at less than or equal to 2 A resolution. An analysis of results on three proteins with engineered disulfides, T4 lysozyme, dihydrofolate reductase and subtilisin, is presented. Two positions for the introduction of 'stereochemically optimal' disulfides are identified in subtilisin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
